All featured classic satchel detailing, line the double fastening, the adjustable strap and name details, with plenty of room for your daily essentials. Just 350 made across all colours, each one selling for £125.

Dr Martens Phillip Monkey Boots

 Not just one classic boot, these Dr Martens Phillip Monkey Boots are a hybrid of two.

Obviously it's a monkey boot, once common streetwear, but seen much less in the modern era. These have been given the Dr Martens treatment, complete with that famous air-cushioned sole, throwing in some contrast stitching, as well as the signature pull on table to the back of the heel to finish things off.

Cherry red is the single colour option, with a pair retailing for £75.

Mikkel Rude introduces the limtited edition 1969 Boot

No, this isn't a Doc Marten boot, this is the 1969 Boot, a limited edition piece of footwear produced in limited numbers for Mikkel Rude by Solovair in Northampton.

It's a boot with a heritage. Originally known as Astronaut boots (but no longer as the trademark for that style currently resides in Japan), it's an a 11 eyelet boot with air cushion sole, which is available in black or dark oxblood, with a slimmer silhouette and cleaner finish than the Doc Marten boot of the day.

The long discontinued boot has been remade in those limited quantites and is available to buy from Mikkel Rude while stocks last, priced at £120 per pair. A detail image is over the page.

eBay watch: 1960s Balinese Girl print by Tretchikoff

Posted on | 1 Comment

Tretch

Going back a few years, every junk shop and house clearance place in every town had a stack of old Tretchikoff prints that the owner couldn't get rid off. Or at best, he or she could get around £5 for one. But times and tastes change and your average original Tretchikoff print goes for a decent sum of money these days. So this Balinese Girl print by Tretchikoff is actually reasonable value right now.

Like most of these things, it was bought in the 1960s off the high street, where Tretchikoff's work was big business in the affordable art world. This example (as the sticker shows) was bought at Boots, claimed to be in 'excellent' condition and sized at 25 x 21 inches.

Current bids stand at £25, which still makes it reasonable. They often go for mcuh more and growing scarcity for original framed works means they will only go up in value. Tastes permitting.
